What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Casiola Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee wishes to have more than four individuals attend the initial training program, they must pay an additional fee of $500 per additional person per day.
These Additional Initial Training Fees are due to Casiola in advance of the training. Casiola will submit an invoice to the franchisee, and the franchisee must prepay the fees upon receipt of the invoice.
This prepayment requirement is fairly standard in the franchise industry, as it ensures that the franchisor is compensated for the training resources and personnel they allocate to the franchisee. Prospective Casiola franchisees should factor these potential additional training costs into their initial investment calculations, especially if they anticipate needing to train a larger team.
